Lightning Bolts within Cells

The existence of strong electric fields across cellular membranes is accepted as a basic fact of cell biology. Maintaining gradients of charged molecules and ions allows for many cellular functions, from control over cell volume to the electrical discharges of nerve and muscle cells.

The fact that cells have internal electric fields, however, is surprising. Kopelman presented his results at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology this month. "There has been no skepticism as to the measurements," says Kopelman. "But we don't have an interpretation."

Daniel Chu of the University of Washington in Seattle agrees that Kopelman's work provides proof of concept that cells have internal electric fields. "It's bound to be important, but nobody has looked at it yet," Chu says.

Grodzinski says that an interesting application of the voltmeters will be to examine whether there's a difference in electrical signals between healthy and diseased cells, and whether different disease stages might have characteristic electrical signatures. To gauge the viability of the technique, researchers will need to "start tying it to biology by studying cell lines from the clinic," says Grodzinski. "This is a first demonstration."

shocking

first I apologize for my weak attempt at humor but it is early monday morning and i haven't had my coffee yet so please forgive.

definitely interesting.  too bad we can't harness this to power electric vehicles but that would be good sci-fi stuff.

SQUID?

how come this type of measurement hasn't been performed with a Josephson junction? i've heard they are extremely accurate...

compared to ???

the author fails to mention the voltage measured in a 'normal' cell so we have no idea if 15 million is actually high cellular voltage for our life form or not. As well, without knowing the correlating 'pressure' measurement, do we know just how much of a 'charge' we can get out of this one piece of information?

Lightning Bolts within Cells

Not only have many Energy Healers known about these subatomic energy fields for centuries; they also understand their relationship to health and disease.

However more importantly they know how to change these important Human Life Energy Fields quickly and simply to invoke a cure or to prevent a disease manifesting in the physical body.

It is good that modern science; with new methods, are beginning to recognize the truth that we are mostly sub atomic energy. They will discover that this energy is organized in patterns and layers and is essential for human life. Some of theses energy fields namely the Aura is responsible for the signals sent to the brain which in turn communicates to the body to create and release all the proteins and chemical needed for our bodies to grow and function.

They will also eventually discover a lot more and these will be the greatest discoveries to change human behaviour and health ever.
